QTL mapping of high digestibility trait in sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench
(2009-05-15)
As compared with other cereal grains, Sorghum bicolor shows very low levels ofprotein digestibility when exposed to proteolytic enzymes. Protein digestibility furtherdecreases when sorghum is cooked. It is speculated that ...
Evaluation of anticancer potential of sorghums with different genetic characteristics and levels of phenolic compounds
(2009-05-15)
To evaluate the anticancer potential of sorghum phenolic compounds, different
experiments including in vitro and in vivo tests were performed. A set of 25 sorghum
samples was evaluated for phenolic (total phenols, flavonoids, ...
Antioxidant, color and sensory properties of sorghum bran in pre-cooked ground beef patties varying in fat and iron content
(2009-05-15)
The effect of currently used antioxidants and sorghum bran in pre-cooked beef
patties was evaluated at two different fat levels (10 and 27%, w/w). Pre-formulated
ground beef was purchased at a retail store on three different ...
Construction of a minimal tiling path across the euchromatic arms of sorghum chromosome 3 and comparative analysis with the rice chromosome 1 pseudomolecule
(2009-05-15)
Using rice chromosome 1 pseudomolecule as a reference, a minimal tiling path for
the euchromatic arms of sorghum chromosome 3 was constructed, in which 23 contigs
contain an estimated 57.56 Mb of DNA. A total of 409 EST-STS ...
Genetic analysis of the Sorghum bicolor stay-green drought tolerance trait
(2009-05-15)
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench) is the fifth most economically
important cereal grown worldwide and is a source of food, feed, fiber and fuel.
Sorghum, a C4 grass and a close relative to sugarcane, is adapted to ...
Effects of bran from sorghum grains containing different classes and levels of bioactive compounds in colon carcinogenesis
(2009-05-15)
In order to test the dietary effects of bioactive compounds present in whole
grains, we decided to observe the effect of varying types of sorghum bran on colon
cancer promotion. We used 40 rats consuming diets containing ...
Color stability of black sorghum bran extracts under different conditions
(2009-05-15)
The color stability of 3-deoxyanthocyanins extracted from Tx430 Black
and Black tannin sorghum brans were exposed to different pHs, temperatures,
water activities, and concentrations for comparison with synthetic colorants ...
Effect of sorghum type and processing on the antioxidant properties of sorghum [sorghum bicolor (l.) moench] based foods
(2009-05-15)
Antioxidant properties of sorghum are related to sorghum type and method of
processing into foods. Tannin and non-tannin sorghums and their products were
evaluated for total phenols, tannins and antioxidant activity. Total ...
Comparing the performace of f1 testers versus their inbred line parents in evaluating experimental sorghum b and r lines in testcrosses.
(2009-05-15)
An appropriate tester correctly identifies the relative performance of experimental
lines while maximizing the differences between lines. Most sorghum breeding programs
use elite inbred lines testers. Inbred line testers ...
